The Florida Institute for Cybersecurity (FICS) Research is focused on development of cybersecurity science and innovative technologies that transform the design and security assessment of large and small enterprises, and critical applications such as power grid systems, financial systems, military systems, and more. Our education program includes seminar series, tutorials, short courses, and certificates. They provide learning opportunities for graduate, undergraduate, and even high school students in cybersecurity.

FICS Research’s goals are to:

  1. Engage with high school students and their teachers in the field of security and privacy.
  2. Provide unique learning opportunities for large and small enterprises to better understand cybersecurity challenges through online courses.
  3. Engage with under-represented undergraduate students and provide them with opportunities to study at the graduate level.
  4. Develop educational tools and modules for teaching courses on various topics in cybersecurity.

FICS Research faculty offers a variety of courses on cybersecurity, namely:Shortcode
